Last month, Stephanie's other ex, Jeremy was released from prison after assaulting Stephanie - he spent Christmas behind bars.

He spent a month behind bars after he broke his community service terms in order to fly to Turkey to get a hair transplant.

Former CBB star had remained coy about her reported new romance with Jacob, keeping her man's identity under wraps despite fans pleading with her to tell them.

Jacob's own profile picture on Instagram had shown the pair cuddling up together, with Stephanie planting a kiss on his forehead as he flashes a beaming smile.

Special boy: Stephanie has her son, Caben-Albi to think about, from her relationship with Jeremy McConnell

MailOnline has contacted Stephanie's representatives for comment.

During the heady beginnings of her romance with Jacob, the former Hollyoaks star had previously shared an untitled ‘Crush Quote’ with her 825,000 followers, detailing the heady impact of speaking to someone you are instantly attracted to.

‘So there’s this boy, and the way he laughs makes me smile,’ it read. ‘And the way he talks gives me butterflies, and everything about him makes me happy.'

Tellingly, the actress had also changed her Instagram profile to an indistinct black and white image of Jacob lounging on a sofa with a phone pressed to his ear.

Fans were quick to comment on her latest post, with one writing: ‘’Awwww so this is where you’ve been! So happy for you and what a turnaround.’

Another wrote: ‘So happy for you Steph your and Caben deserve the best love you.’ (sic)

However others had suggested the post was in fact a reference to 11-month old Caben Albi, her only child with convicted criminal McConnell, who celebrates his birthday in February.

‘I’m guessing that boy calls you mumma,’ wrote one, while another added: ‘U haven't put any pics on of yr son lately?’ (sic)

A third commented: ‘Awww missed you posting but just want to say Happy Birthday to Caben-Albi!’

Not true: Stephanie recently denied reports that she is 'extremely upset' following McConnell's release from prison after serving 34 days behind bars for missing community service

‘Pretty sure she is talking about her little man, what a fantastic mumma keep doing what you are doing girl,’ wrote another.

Stephanie recently denied reports that she is 'extremely upset' following McConnell's release from prison after serving 34 days behind bars for missing community service.

In a message shared on Twitter via her representatives, she wrote: 'A source close to Steph denied she was upset and said: “She has no thoughts or feelings regarding him and has not made any such comment to anyone so whoever has said that is untrue”'.

McConnell, who had an 18-week suspended sentence activated after breaching the 200-hour community service handed to him for assaulting Stephanie, is said to be in 'good spirits' and has even commented on 's**t prison food'.

The Irish model had been given the suspended sentence after a high-profile trial where he was found guilty of attacking Stephanie at her home in Rainhill, Merseyside in March.

During proceedings in August, a judge said Jeremy had shown no remorse for the attack on his ex-girlfriend or the impact it must have had on their son, Caben.

He then missed eight work appointments in the 200-hour order and the court activated the sentence for failing to comply with his punishment.

Sentencing him at Liverpool Magistrates Court, District Judge Wendy Lloyd said she tried to rehabilitate McConnell with a suspended sentence to protect women from future violence.

She added: 'Your enthusiasm for co-operation has been short lived and there's nothing to show in the future things will change. '
